In Season 1 and Season 2, Ron has an iconic ship painting on his back wall. It’s a real painting by John Ward, officially titled “The William Lee at the Mouth of the Humber Dock, Hull,” or “The Return of the William Lee, 1839.” It adorns his wall until his visit to Charles Mulligan’s Steakhouse, after which it’s replaced with the iconic Steakhouse poster featuring old school boxer Mike Conley.

Ron’s Desk is a manly inspiration for him when he’s avoiding work. One of his favorite items is his vintage leather football. Unfortunately, we can’t find exactly which football he has, so let us know if you have the inside scoop!

Original Quote

Ron Swanson: “I’m a simple man. I like pretty, dark-haired women and breakfast food. But this stock photo I bought at a framing store isn’t real. Today I got the real thing. A naked Tammy made me breakfast this morning. I should have taken a picture of it.”

Ron Swanson is a true patriot, and isn’t afraid to show it. On his desk, he has small American flags surrounding a Don’t Tread on Me flag.

American flags are better than bananas

Can I Get It?

This flag set is available on Amazon and pops up other places online as well. The historical American flag set includes one each: Gadsden, Betsy Ross, Star Spangled Banner, Bennington, and the First Navy Jack flags. Base included in boxed set. It’s obviously a great desk ornament for a good patriotic American, and an added bonus would be if you could explain the origin of each flag.
